for bankruptcy. Ironically, applying for a credit card after bankruptcy can help you improve your

financial situation – provided you use it wisely. By using your new credit card to make small

purchases and by paying off the balance in full each month, you can begin to rebuild your credit

history. People who have gone through a bankruptcy can typically receive a secured credit card

without a problem.
